Life Reimagined: Desire, Big Beauty, DeFi, & Longevity Junkies
Hey uguba ndubuisi, happy Sunday!
Welcome back to Life Reimagined.
Today, we're going to chat about the origins of desire, removing the shackles of big beauty, how to get started in DeFi, and a rich guy doing some cool health stuff.
If all of that sounds boring to you, feel free to check out last week's pod about how we can find meaning in death. Over 1,000 people have listened so far, and we've received dozens of really nice messages.
Alright...let's get to it.
🤩 The Origins of Desire
I published new book notes this week on Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. It's a really solid book if you take the time to understand the core thesis and figure out what it means for your life.
In it, Luke Burgis shows us how and why we come to want certain things in life. From there, he explains how to transform our relationship with desire in ways that allow us to live a more fulfilling existence with other people.
My big unlock from the book was identifying all of the areas in which I've adopted desires from other people that don't really align with how I want to live my life. Now, I'm focused on reducing the intensity of those desires and adopting new ways of spending time on things that bring me joy.
If you want to learn more before reading the book, you can see my full notes on it here: Wanting: Summary and Key Takeaways
🙅 No Shampoo & Conditioner
I stopped using shampoo and conditioner three months ago.
If this sounds gross to you, I get it. When I first heard of people doing this, I was skeptical. I thought I'd be like the people who stop using deodorant, smell really bad, and then impose that smell on everyone else.
But so far, it's been great. My hair felt a little greasy for the first few days, but it never got too bad. Now, I just use water, and my hair seems to self-regulate. It's even gotten a little thicker.
This hasn't been life changing by any means, but it's nice to not worry about having shampoo or conditioner around. The only thing I miss is the soapy feeling and nice smells that Big Beauty loves to create.
This experiment made me curious about what other unnecessary things I do simply because everyone else does them too. Probably a lot.
💰 How to Start Playing in DeFi
As I discussed in Portfolio Career, Dangerous Ideas, & Exploring DeFi, I've become increasingly interested in the proliferation of crypto products in the decentralized finance space.
DeFi is still pretty hard to navigate, and a few readers reached out about advice for getting started.
If you're entirely new to the world, I think the fastest way to get up-to-speed is to take Nat Eliason's DeFi Course.
Nat walks you through how to set up a wallet, key concepts, how to move money from the fiat world to the DeFi world, and how you can earn money via things like staking and yield farming.
The course is $100 and a 2-3 hour time investment that won't teach you everything, but it will get you from 0 to 1 and help you figure out how you might want to engage with the space.
You can also avoid the biggest money-making mistakes, which helps a lot. I personally joined it after I played around on my own, and I wish I had taken it earlier because I would have avoided some mistakes/headaches.
I also really like the Discord community because it's focused on DeFi with other people learning. So I can ask a bunch of dumb questions and learn about new projects without spending too much time.
💪 Project Blueprint
Health is a top priority for me. I'm tracking my sleep, reducing work stress, and figuring out how to live well in this crazy world.
While poking around the interwebs, I recently discovered some interesting work by Bryan Johnson, the founder of Braintree.
Bryan is running Project Blueprint, which is his attempt to reshape his health habits and life to slow and potentially reverse his own aging. He's spending millions of dollars on the project and sharing his results publicly.
In part, Bryan's project represents the classic adventures of a super rich tech guy who doesn't want to die. It would be easy to make that judgment and move on.
But what I respect about what he's doing is that he's leveraging the resources he has to experiment on himself and share the results in ways that may help others live longer and healthier lives.
Most people write this off and say "we're all going to die, so let's just enjoy the ride." I'm all for that too, but wouldn't it be better if we all felt better along ride?
Being more energized, less irritable, and happier would lead to better outcomes across every area of life, so it seems like a worthwhile investment.
The problem is that most of us have no idea what we're doing and follow bad health practices that reduce the quality of our lives.
I'll probably never be as extreme as Bryan, but I'm trying to slowly inch closer to making small changes that make everything in life better.
Thanks for tuning in, and see you in two weeks.
Cheers,
Cal
